I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Putin ordered. Trump delivered! One day earlier, Zelensky’s Oval Office ambush was predicted by State Duma member Oleg Morozov on 60 Minutes, a state TV show. Morozov said that the meeting would be a lesson in humiliation. #cdnpoli #peipoli www.thedailybeast.com/russian-lawm...

I like to try to learn something new every day and today i learned that in the US the word “peace” is spelled u-n-c-o-n-d-i-t-i-o-n-a-l s-u-r-r-e-n-d-e-r.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Massive protests in the US as the country faces an ongoing coup d’état by the Trump regime and his oligarch cabal headed by Musk. Countless people are standing up to fascism proving the US will not go quietly. #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17 (🎥 @vuralelibol.bsky.social )

The Trump regime pushed to Extort Ukrainian president Zelenskyy to sign over 50% of Ukraine’s multi-trillion dollar resources to U.S. entities in exchange for past U.S. aid (~$109B since 2022). The US provided Zelenskyy an agreement to sign and gave him less than 4 hours to read it. #OpCanary

End impunity End autogenocide End oligarchy #3E

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

The 14 characteristics of Fascism. Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common.

Our right-wing grifters have been cosplaying as Americans for several years. It’s to the point where they have the ear of the US President. It seems to be biting us in the ass.

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe: 100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

Canada is going to come out of this trade war. We will still have friends,allies,many willing trading partners,natural resources,a skilled workforce,and the trust of our partners to honor our commitments. America will not. Which country in the world can rely on America? Not one.

I absolutely love how quickly Canadians started placing signs in their businesses to discourage customers from buying any American products and I also love how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau specifically targeted Red States in retaliation. I love you Canada, I’m rooting for you.

We are now over 20,000 strong. I need every proud and determined Canadian to reach out to their family, friends, colleagues to sign the pledge for Canada. Each one reach one. Each one teach one. Donald will not break us. True. North. Strong. Free #strongasfuck actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

Just so we're clear, the Federal government isn't bloated with employees. There are about the same number of federal employees as there were in the eighties. And this is while the US Population increased by about fifty percent during that same period.

Poilievre is the most repellent, repugnant, repulsive, revolting, unalluring political leader in our nations history and it isn't close. #NobodyLikesPierrePoilievre #NeverVoteConservative

From time to time, I bring you views about what’s happening in the United States from writers and journalists in other countries. This piece is from a columnist in Canada. Read it and let me know your thoughts.

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

Way to go, Doug!

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

As we get ready for Trump, remember: “Ottawa picked up the tab for 92% of emergency measures, giving provinces the fiscal room to invest in public services people needed more than ever. Instead, at the start of 2021… Ontario [sat] on $6.4 billion of unspent COVID… funds” apple.news/A1oC8CWmKSwO...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

This is a real tweet by the Democratic Party and I can’t help but wonder where this energy has been for the past 6 months

Thank God Vanity Fair is keeping it REAL!

A cartoon from 2022. It’s as relevant as ever and will be truer still if the #GOP has zero backbone and confirms a Kremlin asset and/or useful idiot, #TulsiGabbard as #DNI. #RIPAmerica

Colleagues in oncology have noted a significant increase in cancer patients since having covid. Further study would lead to more answers in this area. www.mdpi.com/2076-0817/13...

Name one accomplishment, legislatively, or otherwise that Pierre Poilievre has accomplished in his entire 20 year career as a politician. He has none. He is just an empty suit who parrots the talking points that conservatives want to hear.
